Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook egg noodles in a large pot of salted water until al dente, then drain. (Tips: Start noodles when adding beef stock in step 4 for optimal timing.)
  2. Step 2: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 3 minutes on each side until browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer steak to a plate. (Tips: Cook in batches if necessary.)
  3. Step 3: Add the remaining butter to the pan, sauté the onions for 3 minutes, then add mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the white wine to deglaze, cooking for 3 additional minutes. (Tips: Stir occasionally to avoid burning.)
  4. Step 4: Whisk together beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and flour until smooth. Pour into the pan, stir, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in Greek yogurt and cooked steak until combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. (Tips: Ensure sauce is smooth before adding the steak.)
  5. Step 5: Serve hot over egg noodles, garnished with chopped parsley and black pepper if desired. (Tips: Ensure steak is evenly distributed for serving.)
